Description

Phuket’s Kata Reef is a unique and beautiful coral playground! Underwater cameraman Nicolas Lurot captures a mimic octopus making a dash for cover to evade a lionfish on the hunt and a bizarre-looking frogfish as it “walks” along the seafloor. Also on a diver’s must-see list: a fish that looks like a pineapple and a rare purple scorpionfish.

Special thanks to Nicolas Lurot from Freedom Divers
